for everyone asking for ice bins, for the sea ray 185 and 195 sport, as mentioned before I believe I scooped up the last one sea ray rad available before they had a new manufacturer making them who was putting the price up to $350 or $450 USD per bin. So many people have been asking for them and we ended up making one of the members here two bins from the molds we took of the original bin we purchased and had sent to FIBRE MARINE in Australia. A place that took my sea ray 195 sport and made it the absolute best example I've ever seen or imagined mine could look. Excellent company. Became friends with the owner and he is now making these to order if you want to contact myself. The price is much cheaper than what sea ray new manufacturer was to be charging, though it appears they never ended up making them anyway.
I thought I'd show a couple of photos. From this stage you'd want to cut the hole, or we can, in the Grove where the water drains to for the size of the joint for the hose fitting. You then spray the outside once installed with the appropriate spray on insulation or you can use the material that wraps around them. But these photos are just the main part that is the important part.
Shipping is proving to be an issue as in it's expensive to ship by air and cheaper by sea. So ordering in winter for your spring can be done by sea mail for much cheaper than air. The bins though work out to something like $100 USD a bin. (Off top of head) depends how you send the money and the exchange rates you get.
This isn't an advert as this is something that can be made as a favour to members here and more a notice they are possible to get now as we aren't here trying to make these to sell as the time these take to make is more than the price they are being sold. Let's just say a uneducated man charges you $75 to mow your 10x10m lawn as that the average wage here. So $100 USD for each of these is just paying for a shipwright to help out those who can't get them elsewhere. I'm very proud this shipwright is so willing to help out these forum members and I think he should be charging at least what I paid sea Ray for 1.
Anyway, enjoy the photos.
